I guess I'm disappointed, although I'm not surprised, that Chicago was not chosen. I am surprised that we were the first city eliminated because I thought we had a stronger bid than that.

Looking at the Chicago 2016 Web site I can't imagine the logistics of moving people between the proposed venue sites, which were pretty much all along the lakefront between Evanston and Hyde Park. Our current rapid transit would have been stressed to the max. I like the winter Olympics better anyway - just give me ice hockey and ski jumping and I'm good to go.
